Today, fashion is one of the world’s most damaging industries. What if instead of extracting from people and place, the system that clothes us had the purpose of creating a thriving and flourishing world?

I co-led the Leeds Fashion Futures project, which saw us working with Zero Waste Leeds and local citizens, authorities, civil society and businesses to explore how Leeds, a city with a deep history of pioneering innovations in fashion and textiles, could continue this pattern and be a leading force for change towards a more regenerative future for clothing.
